more "SIMPLY SKETCHED"

In my last post, I mentioned  how much I simply enjoy using the Simply Sketched set.  Today's card features two more stamps from that box.

 This time the outline sketch is stamped in Stazon ink to prevent bleeding while I added layers of color using my ink pads and blender pen.The white cardstock circle is also delicately sponged with Pumpkin Pie ink

The Pumpkin Pie mat is given a textured boost using an embossing folder, which coordinates beautifully with that designer series paper (see which one below in list of supplies).

The half doily balances off the card and adds just a touch of gentle delicacy.

The death of a loved one is so hard; in the midst of the grief, a handmade card with an aptly written personal note can do so much to comfort a grieving soul. 



Supplies used in this project:
stamps:  Simply Sketched
card stock:  Whisper White, Pumpkin Pie
papers:  Quatrefancy Specialy designer series paper, Tea Lace Paper Doilies
inks:  Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive, Stazon jet Black
other: Modern Mosaic embossing folder, Big Shot,  2-1/2" Circle punch, Paper Snips, Snail adhesive, Blender Pens

I make and send out a ton of birthday cards, so having a good versatile layout is not only helfpul but makes my crafting time more productive. Couple a good design with a versatile stamp set, and you are ready to create a wide variety of cards for may different occasions.  One such set is "Simple Sketched".  I love the simplicity of the stamp images as well as the font for the sentiments

While the card would have been beautiful without, I chose to use my ink pads and blender pen to added just a touch of color.  Sponging the card front with So Saffron warms up the Whisper White card stock.

Add texture by dry embossing the Soft Suede mat and heat embossing the Cherry Cobbler strip.
Add a bit of baker's twine and you are done.
